Stamping frenzy

Good evening, lovelies! Are you enjoying your week so far? I hope so :)I had another inky night - with so much coming up on the stamping field in the next weeks, I figured I better get back into form quickly! I wouldn't want to miss any of the fun things because I can't pull out a card in record time... lol(Boy oh boy, am I impatient to share everything with you!!)

The cards that I'm sharing tonight, were definitely a challenge for me. As much as I love stamping, the all-stamped cards come hard. Oh let's face it, most of the times I'm just lazy and cut some patterned paper instead... hehee

The first card is strongly inspired by Debbie Olson, this card of her to be precise. The way she created this delightfully pretty background and accentuated it with stitching, makes me simply gasp!I chose to work with this card not only because it's irresistible - the current challenge at A Passion For Papertrey is asking for a CASE of one of the PTI's DT ladies. So there you go :)

I didn't have the exact stamps, so I used the leaves & flowers from Blooming Button Bits instead. I also filled in the centers of the flowers with the large dots from Polka Dot Basics.I also used the sketch from Card Patterns:

The next card is my entry in the Card Play Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. I knew straight away that I'm going to use these lovely Glitz Design stamps, when I first saw that challenge.I rarely ever use my Glitz goodies in anything other than a layered, vintage look, so it's a really nice change :)

Wowzers girlie!!! That first card certainly woke me up this morning with its fresh, fun colours and fabulous stamping! I love it!!!!Oh and the second card is totally scrummy too! You're rocking those Glitz goodies in a fabby CAS style!Thanks for joining us on A Passion for Papertrey!Hugs,Aimesx
